I have a problem with the Desktop Manager, it keeps messing up the icons for
various types of files.  For example the problem I have currently is that
all the applications that have generic application icons now have MacPaint Icons
also all the hypercard stacks are now generic documents ( no stack icons).

Some other problems that have been occuring are that the Desktop Manager doesn't
know where applications are across disk volumes.  I have an 100MB disk that is
partitioned into 2 50MB partitions (I used Silverlining to do this).  When I
double click on a MacWrite file and it tells me that the application that 
I am looking for is busy or missing (under finder).  But when I go to the 
application (MacWrite on the other disk volume) and double click on it 
everything is fine.  I can then go and open the file with no problem.

I was just wondering is this a general problem with the Desktop Manager or is
there a newer verions that I can get a hold of (not sure what version of DM I
have it seems pretty old).  Any help that you can give would be greatly 
appreciated.
